The main symbol, the two snakes, are derived from the door of the oldest church in the municipality, the church of Obermerzbach. The snakes date from the early Middle Ages. The cross is taken as a symbol for the castle in Untermerzbach, where a catholic school and educational institute have been situated for many centuries. The waves in the lower part symbolise the village of Memmelsdorf in the municipality. The waves are also canting for the Merzbach river in the municipality (Bach=brook/river). | The main symbol, the two snakes, are derived from the door of the oldest church in the municipality, the church of Obermerzbach.
